What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I drive business growth and procurement/operations improvements through market research, strong stakeholder communication, and clear reporting—while coordinating teams to deliver timely results and client satisfaction.

I’m a Business Development Manager with experience liaising with field teams, coordinating job completion reporting, and driving proposal development to win contracts. I’ve built strong client relationships, supported day-to-day business operations, and consistently produced weekly/monthly reports for management reviews.

Previously as a Procurement Officer, I researched and assessed suppliers, negotiated contracts, managed procurement budgets, and improved processes through market research and procurement activity analysis. I also bring customer-facing and operations experience from roles like Front Desk Officer, plus training and compliance-focused work from my teaching and laboratory support backgrounds.
